Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Cheesecake Layer
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
Fruit & Topping
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup strawberry sauce or jam
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until evenly mixed. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your serving dish to create an even crust layer.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into this mixture, ensuring a light and fluffy consistency.
- Assemble the trifle: Begin layering your dessert by spreading the graham cracker crust at the bottom, followed by a thick layer of the cheesecake mixture. Next, add a layer of sliced fresh strawberries and drizzle with strawberry sauce or jam. Repeat layers if desired, finishing with strawberries and sauce on top.
- Chill before serving: Refrigerate the assembled trifle for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set well. Serve chilled for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh strawberries for best flavor; you can substitute with frozen berries if fresh are not available, just thaw first.
- For a lighter version, replace heavy cream with whipped coconut cream or use reduced-fat cream cheese.
- If strawberry sauce is too thick, warm slightly to drizzle easily.
- This dessert can be prepared a day in advance for convenience.
- To add crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts between layers if desired.
